13 SEER 1 TO 5 TON HEAT PUMPS RECOGNIZE THIS SYMBOL AS AN INDICATION OF IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION! WARNING ▲WARNING THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN AID TO These instructions are intended as an aid to qualified licensed QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR PROPER service personnel for proper installation, adjustment and INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT.
1.0 SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING Disconnect all power to unit before starting maintenance. Failure to do so can cause electrical shock resulting in severe personal injury or death. WARNING Turn off electric power at the fuse box or service panel before making any electrical connections.
2.0 GENERAL WARNING The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or defect to the heat pump caused by the attachment or use of any components. Accessories or devices (other than those authorized by the manufactur- er) into, onto or in conjunction with the heat pump. You should be aware that the use of unauthorized components, accessories or devices may adversely affect the operation of the heat pump and may also endanger life and property.

3.2 HEAT PUMP LOCATION Consult local and national building codes and ordinances for special installation requirements. Following location information will provide longer life and simplified servicing of the outdoor heat pump. NOTE: These units must be installed outdoors. No ductwork can be attached, or other modifications made, to the discharge grille.
FIGURE 2 RECOMMENDED ELEVATED INSTALLATION 3.6 UNIT MOUNTING If elevating the heat pump, either on a flat roof or on a slab, observe the following guidelines. • The base pan provided elevates the heat pump 2” above the base pad. •...
FIGURE 3 TIE-DOWN KIT ASSEMBLY DETAIL A STEP 5: Gauge the amount of washers needed by stacking washers and metal strap in place, as shown in Figure 3, Detail A. Typical installation requires 6 to 7 wash- ers. STEP 6: Insert concrete fastener into hole in metal strap, insert washers over end of fas- tener, and then insert into hole drilled into concrete.
6.1 LOCATION Do not install the indoor coil in the return duct system of a gas or oil furnace. Provide a service inlet to the coil for inspection and cleaning. Keep the coil pitched toward the drain connection. CAUTION When coil is installed over a finished ceiling and/or living area, it is recommended that a secondary sheet metal condensate pan be constructed and installed under entire unit.
7.5 TUBING INSTALLATION Observe the following when installing correctly sized type “L” refrigerant tubing between the condensing unit and evaporator coil: • If a portion of the liquid line passes through a hot area where liquid refrigerant can be heated to form vapor, insulating the liquid line is required. •...

8.0 DEMAND DEFROST CONTROL The demand defrost control is a printed circuit board assembly consisting of solid state control devices with electro-mechanical outputs. The demand defrost control monitors the outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor coil temperature, and the com- pressor run-time to determine when a defrost cycle is required. 8.1 DEFROST INITIATION A defrost will be initiated when the three conditions below are satisfied: 1) The outdoor coil temperature is below 35°F.
8.4 TEST MODE The test mode is initiated by shorting the TEST pins. In this mode of operation, the enable temperature is ignored and all timers are sped up by a factor of 240. To initi- ate a manual defrost, short the TEST pins. Remove the short when the system switches to defrost mode.
10.0 START UP AND PERFORMANCE Even though the unit is factory charged with Refrigerant-22, the charge must be checked to the charge table attached to the service panel and adjusted, if required. (See Table 1). Allow a minimum of 5 minutes running. Before analyzing charge, see the instructions on the unit service panel rating plate for marking the total charge.
12.2 CHARGING BY WEIGHT For a new installation, evacuation of interconnecting tubing and indoor coil is ade- quate; otherwise, evacuate the entire system. Use the factory charge shown in Table 1 of these instructions or unit data plate. Note that charge value includes charge required for 15 ft.

14.0 FIELD INSTALLED ACCESSORIES 14.1 COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER (CCH) While scroll compressors usually do not require crankcase heaters, there are instances when a heater should be added. Refrigerant migration during the off cycle can result in a noisy start up. Add a crankcase heater to minimize refrigeration migration, and to help eliminate any start up noise or bearing “wash out.”...
16.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING In diagnosing common faults in the heat pump system, develop a logical thought pattern as used by experienced technicians. The charts which follow are not intend- ed to be an answer to all problems but only to guide the technician’s thinking. Through a series of yes and no answers, follow the logical path to a likely conclu- sion.
